Harry: Are these values on a dummy load or feeding the KAT500 or antenna direct? I just quickly checked my KPA500 into a dummy load at 500 watts output.  The currents run from 14.0A on 20M to a low of 11.5A depending on band.   This is done with 500 watts output as shown on my Bird 43 and Bir

Just curious on my part, with my K3S I ran FT-8 for about an hour making 1 contact after another on 20M.  Power output was set to100 watts although the external powers meters (2 different ones) show a bit more than 100 watts.    Started with PA temperature at 36°C and never saw it go over 50°C.

Steve and all, I used cqrlog for a couple years and it's impressive. For sake of simplicity, however, I went back to the trio of xlog & xdx with hamlib support. I made a minor modification xdx so that when I select a new (for me) dx, I can then paste the call into xlog. As to Elecraft soft

As far as I know, Macs don't have this problem. Those trying to solve it in Linux might try to understand how Apple addresses it. With some luck, the Apple approach is in the open source part of MacOS, making it easy to study. Windows users might approach Microsoft saying that other OSs have so

Hi. You can "fix" regular USB<>Serial devices, to always show up at the same COM port, when the system (re)starts, or you (re)plug something.    Plenty of instructions on the interweb, including this which I had a part in, that seems to work with Windows 10 & earlier. http://www.w1hkj.com/doku/do
